Availability
Anthony Santander (shoulder) will undergo left labral surgery on Wednesday and will miss 5-6 months as announced by manager John Schneider.
Fantasy Impact
Santander signed a five-year, $92 million contract with Toronto prior to last season and injuries, so far, have derailed his Blue Jays' tenure. Last season, the slugger slashed just .194/.271/.294 with six home runs in 221 plate appearances in his first season with Toronto. Santander belted a career-high 44 home runs and drove in 102 runs in his last season with Baltimore in 2024, prompting Toronto to sign him that offseason. The organization is optimistic that Santander can return sometime before the end of the season.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Anthony Santander’s shoulder and back injuries have improved.
Fantasy Impact
“Shoulder is good. Back is good. He finally feels normal, so that’s a good thing," Schneider said. Santander looks likely to be fully healthy heading into spring training. He dealt with injuries all of this past season after signing a five-year, $92.5 million deal last offseason with Toronto. He would add even more power in the middle of the Blue Jays lineup if he can stay healthy.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Anthony Santander's back and shoulder "finally feel normal."
Fantasy Impact
Santander was limited to 54 games in 2025 due to shoulder and back injuries, slashing .175/.271/.294. He will enter spring training healthy and is expected to split time between designated hitter and outfield for the Blue Jays this season, looking to bounce back after a difficult year.
The Blue Jays removed OF Anthony Santander from their ALCS roster with lumbar spine inflammation.
Fantasy Impact
The move was approved by the MLB with the injury Santander is battling. He won't be eligible for the World Series if Toronto advances. Joey Loperfido took his roster spot.
Anthony Santander was scratched from Monday’s ALCS Game 2 lineup against the Seattle Mariners due to lower back tightness.
Fantasy Impact
Santander is dealing with a back issue, prompting the Toronto Blue Jays to remove him from the lineup. It’s unclear if he’ll be available off the bench. Davis Schneider will start in left field and bat eighth in his place.
